< Joshua 23 >
1 A long time later, after the Lord had given peace to the Israelites from conflict with their enemies around them, Joshua, by now really old,
Fa: nodafa, Isala: ili dunu da ilima ha lai dunu huluane hasali dagoloba, Hina Gode da ilima olofosu helefisu i. Amo esoha, Yosiua da da: idafa hamoi dagoi.
2 summoned all the Israelites—the elders, leaders, judges, and officials—and told them, “I'm old, getting on in years.
Amaiba: le, e da Isala: ili dunu huluane, asigilai, ouligisu dunu amola fofada: su dunu amo huluane gilisili, ilima amane sia: i, “Na da wali da: idafa hamoi dagoi.
3 You've seen everything the Lord your God has done to all the nations on your behalf—the Lord your God has been fighting for you.
Dilia Hina Gode da dili fidima: ne, dilima ha lai dunuma hamoi, amo dilia da ba: i dagoi. Hina Gode, Hi fawane da dili fidima: ne, dilimagale gegenanu.
4 I have allotted the land of the remaining nations for you to own, as well as the nations already conquered, from the Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea.
Na da dilia gaguma: ne, soge huluane ninia dunu fi da doagala: le lai (soge da eso mabadi la: idi Yodane Hano alalo asili eso dabe la: idi da Medidela: inia Hano Wayabo Bagade) amo dilima ilegei dagoi. Amola dunu fi ninia wali hame hasali, amo ilia soge dili gaguma: ne, na da ilegei dagoi.
5 The Lord your God will make them retreat from you. He will drive them out before you and you will take possession of their land, as the Lord your God promised you.
Dilia da amo dunuma gegemusa: ahoasea, dilia Hina Gode da amo dunu sefasimu. Dilia Hina Gode Ea ilegele sia: i defele, dilia da ilia soge lalegagumu.
6 Be sure to observe everything that is written in the book of the Law of Moses. Don't stray from it, either to the left or to the right.
Amaiba: le, hamoma: ne sia: i huluane Mousese Sema Buga ganodini dedei amo nabawane hamoma. Afae mae fisima!
7 Don't associate with the nations that are left. Don't mention the names of their gods, and don't swear by them, worship them, or bow down to them.
Amasea, dilia da Ga: ina: ne soge dunu hame bogoi esala, ilima hame gilisimu. Dilia da ilia ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi ilia dio hame sia: mu amola ilegele sia: musa: dawa: sea, ilia dioba: le hame sia: mu amola amo ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi ilima hame sia: ne gadomu amola ilima hame begudumu.
8 Stay close to the Lord your God, as you have done up to now.
Be amo hou fisili, dilia da musa: amoganini wali hou defele, Hina Godema dafawaneyale dawa: le fa: no bobogema.
9 The Lord has driven out strong, powerful nations before you. No one has been able to stand up to you to this day.
Hina Gode da dili hasalima: ne, gasa bagade dunu fi amo sefasi dagoi. Dunu afae da dilima bu gegemu hamedei ba: i.
10 Just one of you can chase away a thousand enemies, for the Lord your God is fighting for you, as he promised you.
Dilia dunu afae da gegebeba: le, eno 1000 agoane da hobeasa. Bai Hina Gode Ea ilegele sia: i defele, dili fidima: ne gegenana.
11 Take great care to love the Lord your God.
Amaiba: le, dawa: ma! Dilia Hina Godema asigima!
12 For if you do turn from him, and adopt the ways of the nations that are left, if you intermarry with them, associating with one other,
Dilia da houdafa fisili, amola Ga: ina: ne fi dunu dilia gilisisu ganodini esala ilima gilisisia, amola ilia uda lasea,
13 you can be absolutely sure that the Lord your God will definitely not drive out these nations before you. On the contrary, they will be a trap and a snare to you, a whip on you back and thorns in your eyes until you die out completely from this good land the Lord your God has given you.
noga: le dawa: ma! Dilia Hina Gode da amo dunu sefasisu amo fisimu. Be amo dunu da dilima sani agoane amola fegasu efe amola aya: gaga: nomei dilia si wadela: musa: amola amoga dilia se bagade nabimu. Amasea, dilia da se nabalu, asili, dilia dunu afae amo soge noga: i dilia Hina Gode da dilima i, amo ganodini da hamedafa ba: mu.
14 Now I am about to die, the fate of every living thing on the earth. Deep down you know that not a single one of the Lord's good promises has failed. Everything has come true. Not one has failed.
Wali, na bogomu eso da doaga: i dagoi. Dilia huluane dilia dogo ganodini amola dilia asigi dawa: su ganodini dawa: Dilia Hina Gode da liligi ida: iwane dilima imunu ilegele sia: i, amo huluane dilima i dagoi. Ea sia: i liligi huluane E da hamoi dagoi. Ea ilegele sia: i liligi afae da hame fisi.
15 But in the same way that you received all the good things that the Lord you God promised, the Lord will bring on you all the bad things he has threatened until you're completely wiped out from this good land the Lord your God has given you.
Be E da Ea ilegele sia: i liligi huluanedafa amo hamoi, amo defele Ea sisasu huluane E da hamomu.
16 If you break the agreement the Lord your God made with you, and you go and worship other gods, bowing down before them, then the Lord will become angry with you, and you will be quickly wiped out from the good land he has given you.”
Dilia da gousa: su amo dilia Hina Gode da dili nabawane hamoma: ne sia: i, amo wadela: sea, amola dilia da eno ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi ilima sia: ne gadosea amola hawa: hamosea, Hina Gode da ougili dilima se imunu amola dilia dunu afae amo noga: i soge E da dilima i, amo ganodini esalebe hamedafa ba: mu.”
